NASA has again delayed Boeing Starliner’s return to Earth
(edition.cnn.com)
They're never coming back down, are they?
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
Would it surprise you to know that the current ISS commander is one Major Thomas Jones?
(It isn't, so it would surprise me too.)
Well, the capsule is called Starliner not Earthlander
Doubt’ll be the fire of your delight.
BT reference as I live and breathe. I know what's going on my playlist for the drive coming up.
Glad someone got it!
….Cherise..
Oh they'll come back down, for sure.
On the starliner, or on a SpaceX rescue ship is the question. Lol.
Maybe the pilot is a Boeing whistleblower and afraid for their safety?
They should upload MCAS to it. MCAS always heads back to Earth.
Gee. Would hate to be the crew meant to be returning on that thing. Was a bit of a shitshow getting up there.
They're probably still bolting the loose panels back on.
Would you want to ride in that Boeing rattletrap? I wouldn't.
What a clown show.
Just jettison it into the atmosphere and send them down on something else.
It’s having problems with its RCS system
The thrusters that turn the craft around and allow precise movement aren’t working properly, they barely got the thing to dock with the ISS.
Despite what nasa says publicly, I’m sure there’s a lot of internal debate about if it’s even safe to undock the thing from the station. If it loses orientation control while still close to the ISS, it could easily damage the station and kill people. That’s if some of the damaged thrusters aren’t the ones that allow the craft to go backwards, kind of important if you want to leave the station.
Couldn't they use the robot arm to fling it away from the station?
Is leaving it docked to the station with leaks contributing to any drift in the movements of the station's orbit?
Right now nothing is leaking.
The leaks are only present when the fuel system is open or ready to fire
Schrodingers leaks
You know you had 5 leaks yesterday, but you don't know how many actual leaks you'll have until you turn it on and look again.
Well, that's a relief.
